This  work  (Bulletin  No.  51)  is  one  of  a  series  of  papers  intended  to 
illustrate  the  collections  belonging  to  or  placed  under  the  charge  of 
the  Smithsonian  Institution  and  deposited  in  the  United  States  National 
Museum. 

The  publications  of  the  National  Museum  consist  of  two  series— the 
Bulletin  and  the  Proceedings. 

The  Bulletin,  publication  of  which  was  commenced  in  1875,  is  a 
series  of  elaborate  papers  issued  separately  and  based  for  the  most 
part  upon  collections  in  the  National  Museum.  They  are  nionographic 
in  scope  and  are  devoted  principally  to  the  discussion  of  large  zoolog- 
ical groups,  bibliographies  of  eminent  naturalists,  reports  of  expedi- 
tions, etc.  The  bulletins,  issued  onty  as  volumes  with  one  exception, 
are  of  octavo  size,  although  a  quarto  form,  known  as  the  Special  Bul- 
letin, has  been  adopted  in  a  few  instances  in  which  a  larger  page  was 
deemed  indispensable. 

The  Proceedings  (octavo),  the  first  volume  of  which  was  issued  in 
L878,  are  intended  primarily  as  a  medium  of  publication  for  newly 
acquired  facts  in  biology,  anthropology,  and  geology,  descriptions  of 
new  forms  of  animals  and  plants,  discussions  of  nomenclature,  etc. 
A  volume  of  about  1,000  pages  is  issued  annually  for  distribution  to 
,  libraries,  while  a  limited  edition  of  each  paper  in  the  volume  is  printed 
and  distributed  in  pamphlet  form  in  advance. 

In  addition,  there  are  printed  each  year  in  the  second  volume  of  the 
Smithsonian  Report  (known  as  the  Report  of  the  National  Museum) 
papers,  chiefly  of  an  ethnological  character,  describing  collections  in 
the  National  Museum. 

Papers  intended  for  publication  by  the  National  Museum  are  visually 
referred  to  an  advisory  committee,  composed  as  follows:  Frederick 
W.  True  (chairman),  William  H.  Holmes,  George  P.  Merrill,  James 
E.  Benedict,  Otis  T.  Mason,  Leonhard  Stejneger,  Lester  F.  Ward,  and 
Marcus  Benjamin  (editor).

PREFACE. 


The  purpose  of  this  bulletin  is  to  present  a  list,  with  index  to  titles, 
of  the  publications  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum,  which  consist  of 
an  annual  Report,  an  annual  volume  of  Proceedings,  Bulletins,  Special 
Bulletins,  and  Circulars. 

The  Report  constitutes  the  second  volume  of  the  Smithsonian  Report, 
and  the  first  one  thus  issued  is  for  the  year  1884.  A  certain  number 
of  these  volumes  is  assigned  to  the  Museum  for  distribution  to  libra- 
ries, to  correspondents,  and  to  contributors  to  the  collections,  while  a 
considerable  part  of  the  edition  is  distributed  by  members  of  Congress. 
The  special  papers  in  these  volumes,  for  the  most  part  describing 
ethnological  collections  in  the  National  Museum,  are  furnished  free  to 
those  interested. 

The  series  of  Proceedings  of  the  National  Museum  began  in  1878, 
and  23  volumes,  containing  1,240  separate  papers,  have  been  published. 
These  papers,  which  are  technical,  describe,  or  are  based  wholly  or  in 
part  upon,  material  in  the  Museum.  The  volumes  are  sent  only  to 
libraries,  while  the  separate  papers  are  furnished  without  charge  to 
specialists  and  others  engaged  in  scientific  work. 

The  first  number  of  the  Bulletin  was  issued  in  1875.  Of  the  latest 
in  the  series,  No.  50  (The  Birds  of  North  and  Middle  America),  only 
the  first  volume,  relating  to  the  Fringillidas,  has  been  issued.  The 
bulletins  are  intended  principally  for  libraries,  but  are  also  given  to 
known  specialists  working  on  the  groups  to  which  they  relate. 

Special  Bulletins,  in  quarto,  have  been  issued  at  irregular  intervals, 
but  this  form  has  been  used  only  where  a  size  larger  than  octavo  was 
deemed  especiall}'  desirable.  The  last  one  published  (No.  IV)  is  the 
first  volume  of  a  monograph  of  the  American  Hydroids,  and  relates  to 
the  group  Plumularidae. 

The  primary  object  of  the  issuance  of  the  series  of  Circulars  was  to 
bring  to  immediate  notice  urgent  wants  of  the  Museum,  or  to  promul- 
gate special  information  with  the  least  possible  delay.  The  first  circu- 
lar was  published  in  1881,  and  at  the  time  when  the  present  list  was 
sent  to  the  Printing  Office  this  series  contained  fifty  numbers. 

None  of  the  above-mentioned  publications  are  sold  by  the  Museum, 
but  when  the  Museum  can  not  supply  them,  persons  desiring  to  pur- 
chase are  advised  to  write  to  the  Superintendent  of  Documents,  Union 
Building,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Occasionally  the  Museum  exchanges  its  publications  for  desirable 
specimens.
